Artificial Intelligence discovers Secret Equation for ‘Weighing’ Galaxy Clusters

Astrophysicists at the Institute for Advanced Study, the Flatiron Institute and their colleagues have leveraged artificial intelligence to uncover a better way to estimate the mass of colossal clusters of galaxies. The AI discovered that by just adding a simple term to an existing equation, scientists can produce far better mass estimates than they previously had.

The improved estimates will enable scientists to calculate the fundamental properties of the universe more accurately, the astrophysicists reported March 17, 2023, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

“It’s such a simple thing; that’s the beauty of this,” says study co-author Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, a research scientist at the Flatiron Institute’s Center for Computational Astrophysics (CCA) in...

Researchers use artificial intelligence to predict cardiovascular disease
Study design, workflow, and bioinformatics. Overall research methodology includes, (1) clinical data analysis; (2) cohort building; (3) cardiovascular disease-based sample collection; (4) sample management and tracking; (5) RNA extraction, and high-throughput sequencing; (6) pipeline and bioinformatics application development for RNA-seq data processing, quality checking, gene-disease annotation, and phenotyping; and (7) implementation of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques for predictive analysis.

New research from the University of Georgia reveals that artificial intelligence can be used to find planets outside of our solar system. The recent study demonstrated that machine learning can be used to find exoplanets, information that could reshape how scientists detect and identify new planets very far from Earth.

“One of the novel things about this is analyzing environments where planets are still forming,” said Jason Terry, doctoral student in the UGA Franklin College of Arts and Sciences department of physics and astronomy and lead author on the study...

Experimental data is often not only highly dimensional, but also noisy and full of artefacts. This makes it difficult to interpret the data. Now a team at HZB has designed software that uses self-learning neural networks to compress the data in a smart way and reconstruct a low-noise version in the next step. This enables to recognise correlations that would otherwise not be discernible...
